I don't think English is much of a requirement at somewhere like Chelsea anyway

Eric Cantona to coach Manchester Utd or England? - England - ESPN Soccernet

Quote:

Eric Cantona has said that he has ambitions to manage Manchester United one day, and if he doesn't get that job, then he'd like to take over as England boss.

The Frenchman crowned "King Eric" by United fans, captured four league titles and two FA Cups in five years and retired in 1997 at the age of 30; although now has a budding film career and has taken his first steps into management in beach soccer.

Eric Cantona has been out in the sun too long. But he was in my fave commercial ever.

Wolves got promoted, so I've got four teams to cheer for in the EPL next year: Liverpool, Aston Villa, Hull City and Wolves.

Are you allowed to root for both Aston Villa and Wolves? I thought that was taboo.

There are probably people worse suited to be managers, but I am hard pressed to think of any.

He has also won two CL titles, one in 2002-2003 and one in 2006-2007.

He did. But, in England, they care more about the League title than the CL. Apparently, Ancelloti got the job because he has a history of being a yes man.

Well, he's saying the right things about being the one in charge, but he also seems to want Europe to be their top priority, so we'll see.

Id sell that moaning diving crying manchild Ronaldo for 100 million pounds. He is amazingly talented but equally amazingly immature.

ukhotstove · 06-02-2009, 02:49 PM

Wish List of teams.

Man Utd - Another title to overtake Liverpool but also European Cup to overtake Liverpool.

Liverpool - Title because it's been so long since they won one.

Chelsea - Probably both but Abramhovich wants the European Cup.

Arsenal - Anything although a title is probably their top priority.

Everton and Aston Villa - To break into the top four also an FA Cup or League Cup win.

Fulham - Season like they had this year.

Man City - Europe, FA Cup or League Cup win then try to break the top four.

Spurs, West Ham - Europe, FA Cup or League Cup win.

Wigan, Stoke, Bolton, Portsmouth, Blackburn, Hull, Wolves, Birmingham and Burnley - Stay in the league.

Sunderland - Depending how much money they spend but I'd say the new owner would be dissapointed if they didn't reach Europe.

One of Benitez's targets will be wearing the blue of Man City and not the red of Liverpool.

I can feel a John Barnes nightmare returning to Celtic.

God help Celtic

So, Kaka is going to Real ... or is this BS ? Don't like it.

If Schalke win the league next season can we declare Magath the best manager in Europe?
